- I prefer Kermit to tip anyday, but I was a little miffed that I had no way of
- using Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem from within Kermit. Well, no more worries.
- I put together a few Kermit macros which let me use all of the above transfer
- protocols from within Kermit.
-
- Just add the following lines to your '.kermrc' file in your home directory.
- You need the Zmodem package from Sonata. Now, whenever I need to upload using
- Zmodem, I do the following:
-
- 1) Exit into Kermit command mode (usually CTRL-] c)
- 2) 'cd' to the directory of the file(s)
- 3) Type 'sz files' or whatever files you want to send.
-
- Use 'sz file(s)' for sending Zmodem, 'rz' for receiving Zmodem, 'sb file(s)'
- for sending Ymodem batch, 'rb' for receiving Ymodem batch, 'sx file' for
- sending Xmodem, and 'rx file' for receiving Xmodem.
-
- Now you have no reason not to use Kermit all the time. My tip just collects
- dust.
